For the sake of convenience in looking up artist addresses, we have grouped together personal managers, booking agents and contacts into one easy- to-locate section. For determining how to contact an artist, refer first to the artist listing where the appropriate contact will be listed in abbreviated form: i.e., BA, PM or Contact.

    Campaign Monitoring Process 1. Dispatch Creative Audio to Networks

    Campaign Monitoring Process 1. Dispatch Creative Audio to Networks: All material for monitoring must be dispatched to networks via AudioNET for Key Number identification in the AirCheck system. Dispatch can be processed by the creative agency, media agency or the client themselves. (Charges apply) 2. Export Campaign from SMD. AudioNET currently relies on a .csv file from SMD to match campaign bookings with airplay. 3. Email the SMD export, Material Instructions and the Media Plan to [email protected]. • Keep AudioNET updated with all changes to campaign bookings, including Upweight campaigns, dropped spots, key number changes, spot volume changes as they occur to avoid delays in receiving your reports. 4. Subscribe to reports: From the list of Reporting Options below, nominate reports required, weekly, monthly or at the end of campaign. Report packages can be decided on a client-by-client basis and altered at any time. All reports are available in PDF and/or excel format. 5. Auditing Process: Your designated account manager will audit your client’s activity weekly, a week in arrears. Standard weekly reports are emailed through on any day between Tuesday to Thursday as the auditors work through each of their client’s radio campaign activities. The time to complete an audit and provide files is variant, dependent on the size and complexity of the campaign. A prompt delivery of weekly reports is also dependent on the accuracy of the campaign booking information provided to us (SMD & Material Instructions), whilst we compare these with how each station has aired your booked campaign. When booking discrepancies do arise, our auditors then start the manual process of reconciling ‘where has the error occurred’.

    SUBMISSION BY COMMERCIAL RADIO AUSTRALIA Capacity of Communication Networks and Emergency Warning Systems to Deal with Emergencies and Natural Disasters Inquiry by the Senate Environment and Communications References Committee 21 April 2011 SUBMISSION BY COMMERCIAL RADIO AUSTRALIA 1. Introduction Commercial Radio Australia (CRA) welcomes the opportunity to participate in the Senate Inquiry relating to the capacity of communication networks and emergency warning systems to deal with emergencies and natural disasters. CRA is the peak national industry body for Australian commercial radio stations. CRA has 260 members and represents approximately 99% of the commercial radio broadcasting industry in Australia. The commercial radio industry is keen to offer as much assistance as possible in times of emergency and recognizes its responsibilities as one of the nation‟s major information sources during crises. Broadcast media is the most effective means by which emergency service organisations communicate with the public when critical events occur. Commercial radio plays a particularly important role, as 80% of Australians listen to commercial radio. The local commercial radio stations therefore play a critical role in the dissemination of information to the local community in times of emergency. We set out below a brief outline of the regulation and agreements which detail the way in which commercial radio assists in emergencies, together with examples from recent emergencies of the way in which this operates in practice. We also outline the challenges that stations have faced in dealing with the recent emergencies. 2. Regulatory framework Commercial Radio Codes of Practice The commercial radio industry is heavily regulated by the Federal Government.

    20072007 ANNUALANNUAL REPORTREPORREPO T TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS We continued to demonstrate success in 2007 in executing our strategic plan. We took multiple steps to transform Live Nation into a vertically integrated live music company that directly unites artists, fans and sponsors across all revenue generating products. We are moving ahead to capitalize on our global concert platform as artists look for expanded and new business partners. Reaching an agreement in principle with U2 for a 12-year exclusive partnership is another signifi cant validation that Live Nation is the most attractive option for the biggest artists in the world. Madonna, and now U2, believe in Live Nation and our promising future as a highly innovative music company that is responding quickly to changes in the music business landscape. As a result, we believe Live Nation is a signifi cantly stronger organization, strategically and fi nancially, than only one year ago. Over the next year, we will continue to build on our three core strategies: • Grow our global concert platform internally • Prepare to launch our global ticketing, online business in 2009 • Continue to enter relationships with touring artists for longer and wider product lines centered around our core concert business When we launched Live Nation in December 2005, the company had been declining in overall profi tability for the previous few years. We set out to stop the decline and turn Live Nation into a growth company by running our core business better and by expanding into new revenue streams. In 2007, we set out to do four main things, all of which we achieved – to improve our North American Music operations, grow our International Music platform, launch the Live Nation Artist division and defi ne our Ticketing/ Online future.
